So how can you create visually stimulating, quick videos without a lot of time, effort, or money? Wideo! You can create a free account in no time and start wideoing today! Create videos using built in images or import your own, using easy animations to make your videos come alive. There are Wideo tutorials to teach you how to use this fun and easy tool! The free version allows you to share your videos via social media but, unfortunately, does not allow for mp4 downloading or removal of the Wideo branding and watermark.

Not sure where to start? Check out how our office is using videos to collaborate with faculty and share resume tips with students. I even used Wideo to create my #NACE14 video.

Now that you have some ideas, here are a few tips to keep in mind while creating Wideos:

Keep your videos short and to the point. Most people prefer to watch videos that are under a minute, so stick as close to that time frame as you can.

Use a storyboard to organize how you will communicate your thoughts. It will end up saving you time in the long run.

Simple is often better. Keep your color palette to 3 different colors or less and keep a consistent theme.

Hi Kathleen,
You shouldn’t need to purchase anything to create wideos and share them via social media. If you want to download Mp4 formats or remove the branding you’ll need to purchase one of the packages. Hope that helps!
